Without a doubt it's Slippery Slope.

The thing is Republicans and conservative don't benefit politically from immigration. In net immigrants are strong democrat voters. But I know what you mean. Globalist think they can get more people into the country to profit from but the immigration is turning the country democrat. I suppose the democrat party will officially become the party of globalist big business if it hasn't already.

The republican party is going to fade away if they don't reform themselves to be a true party of personal liberty. The more they push to keep marijuana illegal, not let gays get married, and meddle in people's personal lives, the less popular they get. Both parties have been hijacked by globalists anyways so there isn't a huge difference between them at the federal level. It's more important to vote republican at the local level in some states so you can have gun rights, low taxes, limited government intrusion, but have a neighboring state that's democrat so you can have things like legal marijuana a short drive away along with the extra amenities democrat states tend to have (more state parks, etc.) then you can have the best of both worlds. lol

You're right.

The GOP's stance on social issues is killing them. If they can truly prove that they are for less government intrusion into peoples personal lives they will win.

Unfortunately, they are going in the opposite direction and seem hell bent on continuing that trend.

The problem is the federal government trumps state and local government decisions. I don't see it the way you see it at all. Conservatives aren't intruding on personal liberties, the democrats are. Liberals wish to regulate everything under the sun, what you can say, who your neighbors and coworkers are, your taxes you pay, what is on the media, the internet etc.

All I see is more taxes, regulations, open borders, gun control, horrible and expensive healthcare, speech control, forced association, globalism and western culture criticism, and identity politics and favoritism.

Anyways, perhaps there is a term that you find annoying? Care to share and vent about it? LOL, I am so burnt out on all the garbage the media is spinning these days.
"Common sense" being as politics is completly lacking it, and "racism" is way worn out as well.

Undocumented immigrant. What a euphemism! Lets call them by the correct term that we used to use...ILLEGAL ALIENS. And even if the majority of them aren't murderers and rapists, they are all still criminals. The act of entering and living in our country with no paperwork is against the law.
